I would like to share my view why I supported this petition. I am regularly cycling to work for half a year. I was surprised to read that in the UK Highway Code there is no fixed distance for overtaking the cyclists. I passed my driving licence in France where the Highway Code says 1 meter for speed below 50 km/h and 1.5 meter when overtaking with higher speed. It’s easy to remember (it stuck in my memory at least;) and though I do not believe that current experienced drivers are keeping updated and following all the Highway Code changes, I do believe that such law will help to make cycling in UK safer with the new generation of drivers who will need to pass their exams.
